PALERMO – Carolina Onorato, the daughter of Angelo Onorato the architect, husband of the MEP Francesca Donato who was found dead yesterday in his car with a band tied around his neck, reiterates that the father did not commit suicide. “News travels at the speed of light and is often inaccurate, so I feel the need to specify how things are – wrote the girl on Facebook in a post with a black background -. My father did not commit suicide.” It was Carolina and her mother who found the body. “He was not a person who would have ever left his family like this, and above all, as I myself together with my mother found him, I tell you that it was not a suicide but a murder,” she continued. “May no one dare say or even think that he committed suicide”, concludes the girl, thanking those who write her messages of comfort.
The forensic police investigations continue on the Range Rover of the entrepreneur Angelo Onorato, found dead in the early afternoon of yesterday in Palermo, on the slip road parallel to the Palermo – Mazara del Vallo motorway, in the direction of Trapani. The forensic team also used luminol to check if there were traces of blood in the car as well as carrying out tests to discover fingerprints. The street where Onorato was found dead is parallel to via Ugo La Malfa, an artery full of shops, department stores, offices, but without homes or house numbers.
The police also examined the presence of video surveillance cameras along the road, two were found right next to the car. It is not yet clear whether it was a suicide or a crime. Francesca Donato and her daughter Carolina, who apparently discovered the man’s body by reaching the car, pulled up to the pavement, through the cell phone’s GPS signal, were summoned to the flying squad offices to be interviewed by the investigators: “Angelo he didn’t kill himself,” the MEP repeated several times.
In the evening, a tax lawyer was heard by the police who reported a letter that Onorato, of whom he was a friend, had left him. The same lawyer, according to some rumors, would have collected the man’s confidences about economic problems due to debts and credits that he was unable to collect, given that he dealt with the economic aspects of the entrepreneur’s companies. Investigators are also looking into the victim’s financial situation. According to rumors, Onorato was waiting to collect some debts, which could suggest economic problems. But all hypotheses remain open.
In the letter Angelo Onorato allegedly wrote to the family that he was facing a difficult moment and that if something happened to him they would have to turn to the lawyer “who knows the whole situation”. The ticket also contained general information on who could have damaged it. The investigators also listened to the MEP Francesca Donato, the victim’s wife, and her daughter Carolina: the two women discovered the man’s body, reaching the car, pulled up to the pavement, through the cell phone’s GPS signal.
